check box.
You must select this check box before you can specify an access rule and use the

and
Block
buttons. When this check box is cleared, all devices are allowed to connect,
even if the device is in the blocked list.
6.
Select an access rule:
•
Allow all new devices to connect
. With this setting, if you buy a new device, it can
access your network. You don’t need to enter its MAC address in this screen. Best
practice is to leave this radio button selected.
•
Block all new devices from connecting
. With this setting, if you buy a new device,
before it can access your network, you must enter its MAC address for an Ethernet
connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the allowed list.
The access rule does not affect previously blocked or allowed devices. It applies only to
devices joining your network in the future after you apply these settings.

To allow the computer or device you’re currently using to continue to access the network,
select the check box next to your computer or device, and click the
Allow
button.
